Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-San Mateo) told KQED Newsroom on Friday that she believes Republicans are trying to shut down the House Intelligence Committee's probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Speier also said, "The rumor on the Hill when I left yesterday was that the president was going to make a significant speech at the end of next week. And on Dec. 22, when we are out of D.C., he was going to fire Robert Mueller." If this were to happen, Speier said, it would cause a constitutional crisis. "That is Saturday massacre 2.0," she said. "Without a doubt there would be an impeachment effort."
